Khruangbin has always blended diverse musical styles like East Asian surf - rock, Persian funk, and Jamaican dub. On their third album, Mordechai, they take a bold step by featuring vocals prominently in almost every song. This shift adds emotional directness to their signature sound without losing the sense of nomadic wandering. In 2019, after a long tour, the Houston - based band returned to their Texas studio. They decided to slow down and create something special. Musically, they drew inspiration from Pakistan, Korea, and West Africa, adding elements like Indian chanting boxes and Congolese guitar. The album is a love letter to Houston. This limited - edition vinyl comes in a translucent pink color, with a gatefold sleeve, a printed inner sleeve, and includes a digital download. It's released by Dead Oceans in 2020.
To use this vinyl LP, first, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently remove the vinyl from the gatefold sleeve and place it on the turntable. Set the tonearm at the start of the record and let the music play. When you're done, carefully lift the tonearm and return it to its rest. Then, put the vinyl back into the sleeve to protect it. Avoid touching the playing surface of the vinyl with your fingers as this can leave fingerprints and affect the sound quality. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, and keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent warping. If you want to clean the vinyl, use a soft, anti - static brush to gently remove any dust particles. This will help maintain the best sound quality for your listening enjoyment.
